Tandanya will be mark the anniversary of the historic Apology to Aboriginal Australia on Friday 13, 2009 with two screenings of The Apology (11.30am and 1.45pm).

Our 12 noon cultural performance will be a Torres Strait Islander dance by Eddie Peters, followed by the film Kanyini at 12.45pm.

Kanyini is a Pitjantjatjara world meaning interconnectedness; to care for, to support, to nurture and protect.  Kanyini, the film, contains great beauty and wisdom, and offers an accessible account of what has happened to Australia’s First People since the arrival of the white man.  Based on his own personal journey, Bob Randall, who lives beside Uluru in Central Australia, tells a story that is not only of one man and his people, but the story of the human race. 
 
Told without bitterness, Bob Randall weaves his story with depth, understanding and precision. It is a tale of Indigenous wisdom clashing against materialist notions of progress – inviting all Australians to work together to understand, acknowledge and redress the wrongs of the past. It is a film for every Australian.
